RomanK Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 (edited) Hi, I have a serious problem. I made a program which writes some values into text files with an ini-File Structure. It worked for two days as it should, but suddenly (since today I believe) the IniWrite always fails. It returns 0. And I found out why it doesn't work: AutoIt makes my textfile read-only and then of course the Iniwrite fails. (I didn't make it read-only, it happened itself!!!) I tried putting a FileSetAttribute with -R before the IniWrite function but it didn't change anything. What's happening here? Any ideas? How can I fix this?

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

Haven't tried on my Vista 32 yet.It is not a write protected directory, it is:I:\Coding\FS FloodLight\...which I created on my own. And no matter whether the file ending is .ini or .anything, it always fails and never writes.

You don't give people much to go on do you.How are we supposed to test your issue?Do you have a replication script, and step by step by step on how we are to re-create your situation?

RomanK Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 .... hihi it's solved!! @Smoke: Well, you're right, but I didn't know what to do. ....By "mistake" I now found out what is was: My instant messenger, Trillian, causes this. When I exit it, AutoIt will write into the ini files as always, with Trillian opened, AutoIt fails. Strange, but true.... Thanks anyway.

Rather annoying, but I don't recall ever having this issue with them before. What version of Trillian are you running? I'd suggest strongly you let them know what their app is doing as well.
